I agree that it's not rsync source thats causing the problem, but something in the rsync code calls a system call that calls the one thats failing? Do you see what I mean? It's an indirect reference not the rsync code itself. I agree it's not rsync's fault..so I think I'll try to pursue on my own since it's happening on multiple machines and I don't see this on other platforms. > What's the simplest command you can run to repeat the problem?
